You know what's the absolute worst thing? When you have an absolutely genius idea, and someone who you don't even know suddenly comes up with pretty much the exact same thing without having spoken to you. I mean, unless they've somehow tapped our phones or something. But seriously, it doesn't just happen in the academic world.
I had the most genius idea after tackling the famous Milk Bar birthday cake that there should totally be birthday cake batter pudding.
And wouldn't you know, suddenly Duncan Hines comes in hot with three different cake and cookie-inspired pudding cups! I don't even want to talk about it, but I will.
